I bet you didn't know the Dickens classic was filmed this early. Well ... it clearly should not have been.
This 21-minute production is a prime example of why a tv show like "Fractured Flickers" had hilarious material from which to choose. Apparently all of Paris looks the same, as evidenced by the set painting that appears in several scenes. Florence Turner, as Lucie, faints at the drop of a hat and spends most of her screen time unconscious. Leo Delaney, as Darnay, is a little on the plump side and acts a bit too effeminate. Maurice Costello, as Carton, shows a smidgeon of talent, but he acts a bit too effeminate. So why are these guys after Lucie?
The print was too blurred to identify other cast members, although I was able to spot Norma Talmadge playing a condemned woman in the final scenes. Apparently Mabel Normand and Helen Gardner were also in this, but I didn't spot them ... unless they were disguised as Delaney and Costello.
